“This was my first time using Rover, but I was going to some theme parks for 2 days and brought my dogs with me from out of town. I knew I couldn't leave them for hours without a potty break, and I have to admit I was anxious since this is the first time using a service like this, but Carli was awesome the entire way through! I'm super grateful to have the option for someone to come walk my dogs and I'm super grateful Carli was so communicative and my dogs were taken care of! I'm coming back to use the rest of my park tickets, and I will definitely book her again. Thank you Carli!!”
“Ava is amazing You can tell right away how much Ava care about animals. Cheno comes back happy, exercised, and relaxed after his walk with Ava . Communication is excellent, and I always get updates that give me peace of mind. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my dog.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and have worked professionally as a dog groomer for the past 2 years.

My dog walks three times a day and I dedicate 1 hour a day only for him for a long walk or play time outside so that he is happy and well exercised.

About: Hi, I’m Karena! I’m an experienced caregiver who grew up on a farm, so caring for animals has been a part of my life from day one. From energetic dogs and cuddly cats to farm animals of all kinds, I bring patience, confidence, and a calm, experienced hand. Whether it’s walks, drop ins, feeding, or extra attention for shy pets, I treat every animal with the same love and respect I grew up giving my own. Your pets, big or small, are always safe, understood, and cared for like family. Pet care is naturally built into my daily routine. I make time for regular walks, fresh air, and play throughout the day, and I enjoy creating a calm space where animals feel relaxed and understood. Feeding, check ins, outdoor time, and cleaning are second nature to me, and I genuinely enjoy giving animals consistent attention. Caring for pets is not something I fit in when I can, it is already part of how I live. Safety, trust, and a supportive environment are the core of how I care for animals. I ensure every pet is in a secure space, whether inside my home or outdoors on walks and at the dog park. I build trust through calm communication, patience, and consistent care so animals feel comfortable and understood. I always create an environment that is clean, calm, and reassuring, where pets can explore confidently and owners can feel completely at ease knowing their animals are protected and genuinely cared for.
About: I provide loving, reliable pet care. I handle every situation with calm handling, and personalized routines, ensuring pets feel safe, understood, and truly cared for. I work daily but can bring pets with me. I offer multiple walks, give meds, flexible updates, and full weekend availability for reliable, consistent care. In my home or yours, I follow each pet’s routine—feeding, walks, meds, playtime, and updates. I keep their space clean, safe, calm, and comforting at all times. I can create pets as well I have one already on hand
“Danielle did great with taking care of my two dogs and cat while we were away. She went above and beyond with her communication, sending pics and taking her time walking and feeding the pets. She even helped clean up with one of my dogs who had a poopy situation which was not at all expected, I felt bad my dog got runs while I was away. But she helped give him sweet potato so he felt better and even bought peewee pads, which just kept my mind at ease knowing my dog was being cared for. I would definitely rehire her again, she was just the best!”
About: Hello! I’ve been pet sitting since 2019 for a variety of animals, like cats, dogs, chickens and recently sheep. I would love the opportunity to care for your pets. I am completely available and would be happy to provide care in the areas of pet sitting, drop-ins and dog walks. This is a service I really enjoy doing and I am looking forward to providing the help you’re looking for. I only pet sit at the client’s home. If the owner has any specific instructions for the pets needs, I typically just go by that.
About: Have had pets growing up my entire life. Currently have a dog, cat, tortoise, fish and two birds. Love my animals like family and will make sure yours are treated that way. I am a Army Veteran and don’t work a regular job and have all day to watch and care for any pets needs and my sole focus is on their comfort. If you are an owner that wants their pet to be spoiled and comfortable than this is where you need to book your sitter! Thanks!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Forest City
Anathalia was amazing! This was our first time using Rover and she blew our expectations out of the water. She is extremely communicative, professional, and trustworthy, and took the cutest photos of our puppy when she would take her on walks (which I loved!) She made sure to keep me in the loop about everything she was doing with our puppy & is very sweet; I definitely recommend her!!
Halle - Thank you so much for taking care of our baby boy!!! If I could give you 10 stars I would. We instantly felt comfortable with you and so glad we found you. You are very professional, and sweet, you came on time to every appointment and did everything exactly the way we left directions. Will definitely use you again!! Happy doggie & mama 🥰
Even with my grumpy pup, she did amazing! Very communicative through the entire experience, updated often with photos. Im glad my picky dog did well with her! Kristina was even great with reading body language& ensuring my dog was comfortable. will book again if needing anyone in the future!
I’m so grateful for the exceptional care Princess received. Not only did Matthew accept a last-minute walk request on Thanksgiving, but he also went above and beyond during every visit. His walk notes were detailed and thoughtful, and I loved the adorable little stories he shared about my dog “chatting” with the other dogs along the way. It’s clear he genuinely enjoys what he does. Matthew treated Princess with so much kindness, and it meant a lot to hear him say how good she was. His reliability, positivity, and attention to detail truly set him apart. I highly recommend Matthew to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and professional dog walker. I feel completely at ease knowing my pup is in such good hands. Thank you Matt!
Ashley has been walking JoJo for a week now and has been absolutely amazing!!!! She gives her all the love and attention she deserves!!! When JoJo had a tummy ache, Ashley took extra care of her…and helped me with a wasp nest — just because she’s kind!!!! Jojo can’t wait to see Ashley again this week!!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Forest City on Rover is $18.87 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 5,410 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Forest City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Forest City. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Forest City.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Forest City. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
